Chapter 21 Trouble in Paradise

knock! Knock!! Knock!!!

"Who is that?" coming to the door, Tu Feng asked

"It's me, Lu Jin," Lu Jin said.

Hearing it Lu Jin, Tu Feng opened the door, "Master please come in," he said, directing Lu Jin to come in.

Entering inside, they both sat cross-legged on the floor.

"How has your cultivation been this past few days," Lu Jin asked

"I have a feeling that if I continue cultivating, I will breakthrough in a week," Tu Feng said

"Give me your identity card," Lu Jin said as he brought out his own

"Here it is," Tu Feng said as he handed his card over to Lu Jin.

Placing both cards together, Lu Jin sent 700 academic points to Tu Feng's card from his card.

"Use this academic points to get yourself a mortal rank cultivation technique from the library, when you breakthrough to the xiantian realm, you can access the second floor of the library for free," Lu Jin said as he handed the card back to Tu Feng.

Activating his storage ring, Lu Jin brought out the dantian formation pill and the two foundation strengthening pill.

Seeing the pill in Lu Jin's hand, Tu Feng said, "isn't that the dantian formation pill and the foundation strengthening pill. Master why didn't you take it?"

"I was setup by a senior, he told me that only after I reach the xiantian realm could I access the rewards in the storage ring, but it was all a lie," Lu Jin told Tu Feng, just thinking about it makes him so angry.

"I don't know who I faulted that went through so much process in other to limit my cultivation journey at a young age," Lu Jin said lamenting at his misfortune.

Seeing his master been puzzled, Tu Feng said, "I think I know how master faulted the senior.,

Looking at Tu Feng, Lu Jin asked, "you know how I faulted someone, I didn't know anyone before entering the sword hall?"

Tu Feng told Lu Jin the information he got from a senior, about how the hall master picked him as a representative of the sword hall.

Hearing what Tu Feng just told him, Lu Jin didn't believe it, although the hall master took him to the academy, he has only seen him twice, the time he brought him from the outside world and when he absorbed energy qi for the first time.

"I don't think the hall master chose me to represent the hall. Did the hall master make an announcement that I will represent the hall?" Lu Jin asked thinking that the hall master might have announced it when he was in midst of his breakthrough.

"No, the hall master didn't announce it, just that the hall master has not chosen anyone to represent the hall, then he brought a kid from the outside world into the academy," Tu Feng explained

"What! Just that the sword master brought me to the academy, it was now said that he want to make me the sword representative," Lu Jin exclaimed

"Will master explain to the students that the rumors circulating around is not true?" Tu Feng asked, thinking that Lu Jin doesn't want to represent the sword hall.

"Do you know the rewards that goes with being the sword representative?" Lu Jin asked not answering Tu Feng's question.

Hearing Lu Jin's question and not his answer about refusing the status or not, Tu Feng said, "I don't know, but it will definitely be huge for the students of sword hall to disapprove of you being the sword representative and for that senior to lie about the storage ring."

"Help me find out the rewards that are associated with being the sword representative by tomorrow," Lu Jin said to Tu Feng.

"Ok, what will you do after you learn of the reward?" Tu Feng asked

Lu Jin answered, "If the rewards are great, I will think of really being the sword representative."

He continued, "try to get close to some students, both sword hall and other halls, even if you have to join a clique, for the more friends you have, the more useful information you receive."

"I will try my best, even if I have to suck up to some arrogant young masters," Tu Feng said seriously.

"I will advice you to hide your true strength as much as possible, the less people know about you, the more likely they will keep their distance," Lu Jin said as he stood up

"Master, they are truly strong people in this hall, you should be even more careful. They are even the five monsters, having monstrous talent and strength. If any of them confront you, I advice master to not go against them if master's strength is not equal to theirs," Tu Feng said as he thought of the battle between Zhu Gun and Chi Sung.

"I understand, tolerance and adapting to the situation I find myself in was the principle that kept me alive in a world without my parents or any family member, before the sword master brought me to the academy. Been able to tolerate those who are stronger than you and who you can make use of is a quality to survival," Lu Jin said as he left Tu Feng's room.

Hearing what Lu Jin said about tolerating those stronger than you and who you can make use of, Tu Feng knew that he was right, if you can't tolerate someone stronger than you and want to seek revenge, you will absolutely lose your life.

"I will keep master's word to heart," Tu Feng said as he went to sleep.

Getting to his room, Lu Jin brought out the *Splatter Void* technique, as he meditated on it.

Two hours later, he closed it, shaking his head he said, "the first move, cleave zone is really not easy to use. Swords are typically light in weight, amongst sword cultivators, they are only about 6% who uses a great sword.

The concept of cleaving, is the amount of force generated through swinging the sword before bringing it down on the opponent. Using a great sword to perform a cleaving move brings out the full potential of the technique. The great sword is a very heavy sword, strong physical strength is required to use it, the process of swinging it generates a force and being able to control that force helps in performing a cleave.

During the time Lu Jin performed a cleaving move in his battle against Pu Tang of Moon Night Forest, he was very tired and the sword he could easily use before, became so heavy to hold, he tried performing a slash but he could see that performing a slash with such a heavy sword was wrong and uncomfortable, so he changed from slashing to cleaving, thereby perfectly blocking Pu Tang's attack and finally understanding the components of a sword.

That brought about the comprehension of his sword intent.

Looking outside, he could see that there was still time before the sun comes up, taking out the *Half Moon* technique, Lu Jin focused on comprehending Mirror Cut move of the technique.

The Crux of the move is creating a perfect illusion. If you can't create a life like sword image with your energy qi, matching to the sword you are using, then the technique can be said to be incomplete.

After learning the essence of the technique, Lu Jin could now start training on the mimicking process of the move.

After sometime, Lu Jin stopped, looking out the window, he could see the sun in the sky, getting up, he left his room.

Moving around the hall, Lu Jin could hear his name been mentioned quite a lot.

"So you are the sword hall representative, no wonder you chose the All Devouring Energy technique, but without talent you can forget about mastering the All Devouring Energy technique to the fifth level," Ao Daj said as he stood in front of Lu Jin

"Greeting senior brother," Lu Jin greeted with a smile on his face

Seeing Lu Jin greeting him, Ao Daj felt good that the one representing the sword hall was greeting him

He said, "at least you know your morals, although you are the face of sword hall to the other halls, but to us, the students of sword hall, you are a junior brother, who is still weak in strength

"I will definitely listen to senior brother," Lu Jin said still keeping the smile on his face.

"Junior brother is really cute and good-looking," a senior sister said as she came over

She is definitely right about Lu Jin being cute and good-looking. His face could be said to be perfect, as every components of his face was perfectly positioned. But the most attractive part of his face was his eyes.

He has a silver colored Iris.

His dark colored hair was carefully packed to his back with some hair covering the left side of his face together with his eye.

He could be referred to as prince charming.

"Thank you senior sister for the compliment," Lu Jin blushed a little, as it was his first time been called cute by anybody, especially not a girl.

"I never knew that you, Bai Zing, will go to the length of flattering a kid just because he is the face of he sword hall," Ao Daj said with contempt.

"Ao Daj, are you jealous that I complimented junior brother Jin about being cute. You should definitely mind the way you talk to me, although you joined Mu De group, that doesn't mean I can't beat the hell out you," Bai Zing said looking at Ao Daj with a piercing gaze.

"Hmph, just because you comprehended sword intent before me, you think you are better than me. Just wait still I comprehend my own, I will get back my room and my rank," Ao Daj said as he left. While leaving he pushed Lu Jin out of the way.

Looking at the back of Ao Daj, one could see Lu Jin's eyes turn blood red before turning white and his Iris silver the next instant.

Bai Zing didn't see it as she was also looking at Ao Daj.

Since comprehending massacre, Lu Jin killing intent has been growing stronger and hard to control, but suppressing it brought benefits, as it strengthens Lu Jin's will and mind (consciousness)

(KILLING INTENT IS THE URGE TO KILL OR GO ON A KILLING SPREE).

"You should not act high and mighty just because you were chosen by the hall master, everyone in this hall is a genius and won't bow or respect anyone that is weaker than them," Bai Zing said, no longer keeping a facade.

"I understand senior sister, even I won't respect anyone that is weaker than me," Lu Jin said still smiling.

Impressed by Lu Jin's attitude, Bai Zing left without adding another word

Seeing Bai Zing leaving, the smile on Lu Jin's face vanished, it was like flipping a coin to the other side.

"No matter how I disguise myself, I can't increase my height, and staying locked up in my room won't help my growth, maybe I should check out for missions in the academy's mission hall," saying so, Lu Jin started walking towards the gate of the sword hall.

"I heard that an elder will be giving a lecture tomorrow," a senior close to the gate said.

"Yes, I also heard about it, but I don't know the topic he will speak on," the other senior besides him spoke out.

Hearing this, Lu Jin started anticipating how tomorrow's teaching will be like, he said, "looks like I will delay my mission for a day or two."

"It that a child of an elder?" a student asked his colleague

"I don't think so, as a child of an elder, will not be wearing the sword hall uniform," his colleague answered

"Maybe is the face of sword hall we've been hearing about," another colleague said.

"He sure got some ability, to be able to hide his aura so perfectly" the student said.

"Maybe he just using a powerful technique to disguise his aura, he is the representative of sword hall after all," his colleague contradicted.

Hearing what the seniors were saying without minding if he could hear it or not, Lu Jin knew that if he does not prove his worth, he would just keep meeting such students.

Heading to the training room of the sword hall, Lu Jin could see so many students training their martial arts.

"Are you Lu Jin, why don't we step into the gravity zone and test our movement technique?" someone said to him.

Everything on swords is base on my imagination and the shape of the sword gotten online......
